from Columbus yesterday and re-
port very harmonious and en-
thusiastic meeting Tuesday Of the
citizens of the towns along the
proposed line of the Columbus
Southern. Albany and Dawson,
and Stewart, Webster and Chat
tahoochee counties were repre-
scented, and in the meeting there
was but one sentiment that tie
road be built via Richland and
Dawson to Albany. From the
people along the line S125,000
will be asked in subscriptions,
Terrell's rrorata pant of which is
$4,000. Our county has never
yet failed to do her duty, and we
are confident that the amount
will be easily raised. The road is
alreqdy believed to be a certainty.
We will endeavor to show tn
the people of Terrell, especially
the farmers, in our next issue, how
the road will be of great benefit

Saw Mill Burned.

Mr.. I. J. Webb had the mis-.
fortune to lose his saw mill, to-
gether with small lot of lumber,
by fire last Wednesday night.
Mr.. Webb, it will be remembered,
had an arm badly mangled and
rendered useless for all time in an
accident at his mill few weeks
since, and this loss by fire of
about $500 worth Of property, on
which there was no insurance,
falls quite heavily on him. The
fire is thought by our informant
to have had an incendiary origin.
